Ok with my Suburbasarus project I have some options for extending the travel range between fuel stops.

Currently I have a factory 21gal tank (or something like that).
There is room to add an aux tank behind it or go with 1 or 2 saddle tanks along the frame.
I could also get a custom tank made that goes behind the rear axle in place of the factory tank and would net me around 40+ gals.
And just so you know I am not a fan of jerry cans.

My thoughts are that 2 tanks & 2 fill points gives me the option of having a known quality fuel tank and then always add suspect fuel to the other tank....such as when in Baja. That way if I have engine trouble I can switch tanks and see if that helps. Oh I am used to using valves and such to switch tanks.

Of course 1 big tank is simple, but it puts a lot of wgt in 1 place (behind the axle).

All thoughts welcome.
